Beginning Friday, December 19, 2008, the El Segundo Police Department will be participating in the ‘AVOID the 100’ program as part of California’s Holiday DUI Enforcement Campaign. The El Segundo Police Department is encouraging the public to call 911 and report suspected drunk drivers.
The following clues can help motorists detect a drunk driver:
Weaving/swerving in and out of the lane
Weaving within the lane quite noticeably
Traveling at speeds much slower than the flow of traffic
Braking erratically or stopping in the lane
Sudden stops for signal lights and slow start once the lights change
Remaining at the signal lights once they turn green – asleep at the wheel
Making wide turns and/or cutting the corner, striking the curb
Headlights off at night or high beams on
Straddling the center line of the road or lines separating the lanes
Finally, Aggressive Driving – speed, tailgating and multiple lane changes or unsafe passing may also be the tell-tale signs of intoxication
